SCOTTSDALE, AZ — The Scottsdale Police Department has found that former Scottsdale Unified School District President Jann-Michael Greenburg did not do anything illegal — at least under the department's jurisdiction — when it comes to a Google Drive at the center of a district controversy. Scottsdale Police said in a news release that it had concluded its investigation into what some were calling a "dossier" that Greenburg's father, Mark Greenburg, had kept on parents who had been openly critical of the district. Following an uproar from parents mentioned in the Google Drive and their supporters, Greenburg was stripped of his title of board president Nov. 15 in a 4-1 board vote, with Greenburg the only member voting against. The Google Drive includes things like screenshots of Facebook conversations where parents discussed their opposition to critical race theory and masking to prevent the spread of COVID-19, according to an Arizona Republic report. It also reportedly included photos of some district children and documents detailing parents' divorce proceedings. Scottsdale Police found in its investigation that the drive contained only open-sourced and public documents. "Therefore, it has been determined that no criminal conduct has been committed at this time that would be under the jurisdiction of the Scottsdale Police Department," the department said in the news release. The district is conducting its own investigation to find out if any district resources were used in the creation of the Google Drive documents that Jann-Michael Greenburg accidentally shared with parents, Fox 10 reported. The district is also looking into whether Greenburg violated any district policies, according to Scottsdale Police. Scottsdale Police said that detectives briefed the FBI and Arizona Attorney General's Office on their investigation to help those agencies determine if Greenburg committed any crimes that might fall under their jurisdictions.
